Marcus Bäcklund is a tech executive, investor and writer with a rare inside view of where AI, global finance and geopolitics intersect. He founded one of Europe's earliest startup hubs, helping lay the foundation for several of Sweden's most successful tech companies, and has since built a network of founders, investors and decision-makers worldwide.
In his debut novel, he brings that vantage point to fiction: a world of authentic tension between innovation and influence, secrecy and scrutiny, intelligence and power.
Marcus lives in Sweden, investing and advising emerging tech companies.
